Congratulations 2024 National Visionary of the Year
Meet the WinnersThe Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Presents Visionaries of the Year
They look to the future—and see infinite possibility.
They challenge the status quo—and make the impossible possible.
They boldly imagine a better world – and lead the charge to create it.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society was built on that same vision - of a better world - one without blood cancers. And with the help of visionaries across the country, our impact is stronger than ever - and growing.
Formerly the iconic Man & Woman of the Year, Visionaries of the Year candidates form powerful fundraising teams and compete in honor of two local blood cancer survivors. The individual who has raised the most funds during the ten-week campaign is awarded the prestigious title of 'Visionary of the Year' in their community.
